Leongatha TAFE campus open for business

GippsTAFE has reassured students that its Leongatha campus will remain open, despite the possibility of losing 20 courses.

The Leongatha campus was opened early last year and features a purpose-built training kitchen used in hospitality courses, one of the areas hardest hit by recent funding cuts.

The GippsTAFE acting CEO, Ian Carroll, says students will be asked which courses they want, before funding options are assessed.

"Certainly the Leongatha campus has been subjected to quite a bit of negative press by a number of parties in relation to its viability but let me assure you that internally our workings are to maintain the campus as best one can and deliver sound training experiences," he said.
